About this report
The CRM is the system of record for the number a company reports to its board, and it is the most integrated piece of software most sales organisations own. This area sits close to the market median, which is itself the finding: the system everyone else builds against is merely average at being built against by an agent.
178 companies. Kin Score median 51.6, Agent Readiness median 46.8. 34 reach the Exemplar band; 37 sit in Emerging or Minimal. Every one of them is named and ranked in the report — if you work in this market, you are in the table, and so is everyone you compete with.
This is the most connected software in go-to-market and it sits 1.2 points below the market median on Agent Readiness. Being integrated by everyone is not the same as being operable by anything.
